Comments Thread For: Sullivan Barrera: I Need My 'A-Game' To Beat Dmitry Bivol

[Johnston]

And Pacquiao dominated Cotto and Floyd had a tough fight. I don’t use those triangle theories

I wasn't saying because of those fights that bivol automatically beats Barrera, was more of a way to say he's not completely untested seeing how they have a common opponent

I would tend to agree with you. I think this is a bigger test than Bivol fanatics might acknowledge. And Barrera is a tough out for anyone at light heavy, but I expect Bivol to win by UD. Bivol's jab is the story of the fight. But that wipeout of Trent Boradhurst and closer-than-the-cards win over Valero leaves some questions about Bivol. I'm sure I'll take some hits for it, but Bivol's destruction of Cedric Agnew looked like his most impressive victory to date. I like the kid, and I'm curious to see what he can do as he moves up in class. But he's still fairly untested.

Getting Bivol in the ring with Beterbiev...that's the fight.

Well said, he hasn't been in with the best but he's looked very impressive with who he's been in with. That fight with Agnew was the most impressive, just dismantled him. Broadhurst fight was way to quick to take anything from that but still solid. I think bivol is one of the best punchers out there right now,him and beterbeiv would make a great fight that could go either way. I really think he's gonna be the best at 175 for sometime

Not a gimmee fight for either fighter. That is for sure.
The stakes are very high for either fighter especially for Barrera.

He wins and he cannot be denied opportunities.
At the ripe old age of 35 a loss, no matter how good he looks could be fatal to his career!!

Lets hope he does not get old overnight against Bivol who will be facing his first live opponent.

This should be interesting.

Those are the keys, aren't they? Bivol certainly LOOKS the part. He seems like the complete package and has even shown patience and complete control of himself in that ring. But he hasn't fought anyone with the resume or experience of Barrera. Barrera has been in the ring with some of the best, and sure knows how to position himself to nullify a jab. If Bivol starts seeing that his game plan isn't working, how will he respond? Will he be careless or unable to adjust?

I am leaning to the younger, hungrier, outright stronger fighter in Bivol. However, I actually feel Barrera should generally be the favorite until Bivol proves he is a top 175 fighter. To date, he just hasn't. The title was generally handed to him on a silver platter when Ward retired.

Sullivan wins this fight! I love how THEY underrate him so heavy. he's proven and battle tested. Bivol took some shots versus valera, I see Sullivan giving Bivol some heat.


But It will be hard for him to win on the cards versus bivol. Corrupt boxing is a mofo.

Bivol outboxes Barrera the first half of the fight and stops him in the middle rounds

Who is 'THEY', man? Like, the Illuminati or something?

Regardless, this is a damn good fight. Sullivan's a battle proven warrior who's only fallen short against the best of the best and Dmitry has passed every test to date with flying colours... really looking forward to this one.

Bivol beat Valera with flying colors? 😂😂

Bivol beat Valera with flying colors? ����

OK, man, whatever. If you don't think it's a good fight that's cool.

But... who is 'THEY'?

[Herdis]

Exactly... these bunch of idiots frustrates me. Some even said that Bivol out box SB and knock him out.

The guy you responded to is complete ****, who think he has superior over everyone even he show lack of knowledge
